Is your family part of the exclusive club that celebrates a birthday only once every four years? If so, Build-A-Bear Workshop has something extra special for your little Leaplings this Leap Day!
On February 29, 2024, participating Build-A-Bear Workshops across the country are rolling out the red carpet for anyone celebrating their unique Leap Day birthday. For just $4, Leap Day babies can create their very own Birthday Treat Bear — a cuddly, memorable way to mark the occasion that’s been four years in the making!
Why $4, you ask? It’s a playful nod to the quadrennial nature of Leap Day and Build-A-Bear’s way of ensuring that this rare celebration is accessible and fun for everyone, no matter their age. It’s part of Build-A-Bear’s ongoing mission to “add a little more heart to life,” especially for those whose birthdays are a leap apart.
This offer is an extension of the beloved “Pay Your Age” deal, with a Leap Day twist. The experience includes all the signature touches of a Build-A-Bear celeBEARation — a heart ceremony, thematic photo props, and the joyful ringing of the birthday bell. It’s a fantastic opportunity not just for kids but for any Leap Day celebrant looking to capture the joy of this unusual birthday.
“Leaplings” and their families can look forward to a day filled with joy, creativity, and the warmth of a newly made furry friend. Remember, this deal is as rare as Leap Day itself — available in-store only on February 29, 2024, while supplies last. So, don’t forget to call ahead to your local Workshop to ensure you can leap into this amazing offer.
As Sharon Price John, President and CEO of Build-A-Bear, puts it, “We understand the rarity of being born on Leap Day, and we’re thrilled to offer a special gesture to celebrate these unique birthdays.” So, whether you’re a seasoned Build-A-Bear fan or new to the magic of making your own bear, this Leap Day celebration is the perfect way to make an unforgettable memory.
